The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo says Hope
Uzodimma, governor of the state, is now begging residents for votes after
introducing harsh policies.
Uzodimma is seeking re-election. He is the candidate of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election billed for November 11.
In a statement, Ikenna Onuoha, spokesperson of Imo PDP,
accused Uzodimma of delegating members of the APC to incessantly bombard
residents of the state with unsolicited phone calls as he begs for votes.
“The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party Gubernatorial
Campaign Council in Imo state has been drawn to a clandestine move by the All
Progressive Congress and Hope Uzodinma to legalize vote buying in the state,”
the statement reads.
“This time, Uzodinma
is said to have delegated members of APC to incessantly bombard Imo people with
unsolicited phone calls, begging for votes and promising to financially reward
them for each vote cast for APC.
“It is shameful that Uzodinma is going about begging for the
votes of Imo people after he flagrantly ignored them and instead, introduced
harsh and obnoxious policies that are detrimental to their welfare.
“Our campaign council therefore queries Uzodinma’s morality
in soliciting votes from Imo people now that it is clear to him that his
political future is in serious danger, having treated the people of the state
with disdain and utter disregard.
“The question now is,
if Uzodinma and APC are convinced that the election would be a walk-over for
them, why then are they going about begging, and spending airtime bombarding
the phone numbers of aggrieved Imo people without authorization?
“The PDP (Sam-Jones) Gubernatorial Campaign Council further
enjoins Uzodinma and his outgoing APC administration to stop embarrassing
themselves by going beggarly, after they had failed to apologize to Imo people
for harassing, intimidating and molesting them at no provocation.”
